CARTAO PRETO (9) was prominent from the outset when fourth over 1100m at this track last time out. Form here at this trip is sound. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Expected to be in the finish. EL KING (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1100m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into 11th. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. CHOW CHOW (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when seventh over 1300m at this track two weeks ago. Has the ability to put the recent run of form behind him. JERUSA (5) was beaten 9 lengths into 11th in a 1100m contest at this track three weeks ago. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
